What You'll Study

Gonzaga’s International Studies department aims to foster an understanding of and appreciation for the interconnections and inter-dependencies that shape the contemporary world. The interdisciplinary major equips students with cultural, historical, and language skills focused on a specific region as well as knowledge of political, economic, and social processes at the local and global level to prepare students to propose solutions to global problems. With a multidisciplinary approach, it encourages exploration of local and global issues through diverse perspectives and methodologies, fostering critical research, communication, and ethical global citizenship.
